1st Half/2nd Half Bowl Picks

[dykstra]

Been using a strategy for the Bowl games that's been money so far...15-7 record 1st half plays, 15-10 2nd half...haven't backtested it beyond this year so not sure how long the success will last...but figured I'd share it while the gettin's good...

Since the strategy has been dependent upon closing lines, I will post the plays as close to kickoff as possible while at the same time giving you guys enough time to tail if you so desire...2nd half plays will obviously be posted at halftime.

Be back 1130 with the first plays.

Navy/MTU Under -28½ -110

Thread Record 0-0

Good Luck!

[Semper Fidelis]

Looks very interesting man! Are the plays always separate straight plays? Or do we chase on the 2nd half if the 1st half loses? Looking forward to see how this system does.

[Allen24]

Looks like we will take over in second half right? With low scoring first half!

2nd Half Plays

Navy/MTU Under -27 +105
MTU +2½ - Even

Thread Record 1-0

Good Luck!

All plays are separate, no chasing.

In addition to the 1st and 2nd half plays, I've also noticed that if you were to play the full game the same as you do the first half, that record would be 16-6.

So 1st and 2nd half, and total game combined record for bowls starting the day was 46-23. Would be legend if that continues.

I've already locked these in. Try to get GT plus points for first half if you can. If they drop to even they're still a play, but they lose a ton of value.

Good Luck!

Good luck buddy. I've got the same. Thought about hedging my live under 87.5 and Tech PK but I think it's going to be SOS in the 2nd half.

At one point in the day we were 3-6 but we finished strong and ended the day with a tiny profit. Hopefully we can carry that momentum into tomorrow and make some Real profits.

I'll be back 1215 tomorrow.

Was away for New Year's so wasn't able to post...documented picks in this thread were 14-13...before starting the thread, record was 46-23...here's how the rest of the games went:

VT/UCLA 2nd Half - 2-0
Rice/Miss St - 3-3
Duke/A&M - 2-4
Neb/GA - 5-1
UNLV/NT - 0-4
Wis/SC - 1-3
Iowa/LSU - 4-2
MSU/Stan - 4-2
UCF/Bay - 3-3
Okl/Ala - 6-0
Mizz/OkSt - 4-1
Clem/OSU - 4-2
Hou/Van - 2-4
Ball St/Ark St - 0-2

Total = 40-31

Entire Bowl Season Record = 100-67


This record really didn't do s**t for you guys as the games I posted barely made a profit...and now bowl season is basically over...so why the hell am I wasting time updating the thread?

Because I've taken a similar strategy and applied it to the NFL and NBA...this weekend's record for NFL was 12-10...NBA was 21-15...not great, but profitable...which is the name of the game.

You'll certainly have your ruts as I got my ass handed to me on Saturday...went 1-5 in the KC game, and 2-3 in the Saints game...but yesterday bounced back with a 9-2 day.

Here's a screen shot of how my week went:
From 12/30/2013 to 01/05/2014

	Beginning Of Week	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun	Total
Win/Loss		3335	420	174	1770	1887	-3634	1047	4999
Cash In/Out		0	0	0	0	0	0	-4999	-4999
Balance	0	3335	3755	3929	5699	7586	3952	0	0

I actually made closer to 3k on Friday, but I owed 1k from last week which he just took out of this week's profits.

Anyway, I feel like I've got something good to share here...I'll post tonight's bowl game in this thread...as for the NBA and NFL plays I'll open an individual thread for each in their respective forums.

And as long the plays continue to profit, I'll continue to post.

Later.
